Spent Friday in Portland driving some exotics. These are special cars built by a friend that owns Extreme Turbo Systems. First a little about them. They all run on Pump gas until they feel the throttle open wide, then alcohol is injected and it smells so good in the cockpit exiting the tail pipes. The stock R8 is about 800hp on pump gas and a little over 900 on race gas, about 12psi boost, stock v10 motor. The Lamborghini Gallardo puts out up to 1800hp when you dial it up to 30psi of boost. I left it at 1250 and was very happy with the acceleration.....OmG. This car drives much like a race car....hard to have smooth clutch engagement and you feel every bump in the road...but i would drive it again. The black 2016 Lamborghini Huracan is completely stock for another few weeks, going in for a 2000hp plus turbo and engine build. I put the most miles on this car yesterday. If you ever get a chance to do strip club hopping in a exotic car....i have to tell you i felt like star. We dressed the part in jeans and holy tee shirts, i parked right out front at every club and got the attention the car deserved. The car was so easy to drive. It has dual auto clutches and as soon as you mash the throttle the sounds and feeling was so much better that any of the lap dances that night. It only has 610hp or 550hp at the rear wheel...soon to be 2000+ a the rear wheels, its an all wheel drive so to all the wheels. I returned the car at 3am with a huge smile on my face. I have to tell you the people that pulled up along the car with their cameras in hand had just as big of smiles on their face as i did driving the Huracan.....and even bigger when we left them far, far behind in a blip of a second. Going back to drive the R8 Audi in a feel weeks...im told its just as fun as the Huracan since all three cars share the same v10 power plant. I can not wait to drive the Huracan after the upgrades....all that modern luxury with that alcohol smell that will.be spilling out the exhaust.
Things i learned.
Lights dont go off automatically (bouncer found me and told me after an hour)
Tire monitor tells you low tire pressure, but not which one
Pot holes take out tires...250 a pop
No remote start
Have to push a lift button to get in and out of parking lots.
Choosing your passenger or passengers is tricky, as therd is not a lot of extra room and a ton of cute volunteers.
You can not mind having your photo or video taken.....i mean a lot.
